MARCH AND coUNTERMARcH.

The sudden attack of jackson at Kelns
town caused change in the plans at Wash
lngton. Banks and his corps were halted O,
the way to Manassas, and sent in pursuit O
the flying Confederates At the same tim,
Shields division of Banks corps, which hat
routed Jackson at Winchester, was detached
from Banks and sent to Mcdowell Nc
Dowell was to halfway cooperate with Nc
Clellan at Richmond, and wholly keep an
eye on Washington. Just what he was to dc
Geems never to have been fully decided or
between Gen. Mcclellan on one hand md tbe
president and Secretary Stanton OH the
other.
10 get the movements that followed the
battle of Winchester clearly in mind it will
be necessary to note upon the map the posi-
tion of both the Confederate and Union
troops in northern Virginia at the beginning
of May. Gen. Richard s. Ewell's corps of
10000 Confederate troops had been sent to
jackson from Richmond. That general.
after crossing the south fork of the Shenan-
doah, continued his retreat and encamped
at length near Swift Run gap. It had
been an exciting, romantic retreat. Col
Turner Ashby, the cavalryman, was Jack
sons rear guard. He lowered about the
Federal advance, now making q dash at
them and engaging in hot skiimsh, now
galloping away with ringing of sabers when
they came too near. TWAS work he delighted
In. He rode at this time magnificent white
L
horse, as famous in Confederate annals ms the
Union Sheridan's black horse became in this
very region two years later. Ashby, left
alone, was the last man to cross the
Shenandoah bridge. Eight Federal cav
alrymen were almost upon him as he
rode for life over the bridge Two galIoped
on in advance Ashby turned suddenly on
them. A bullet from his party already across
the bridge struck one Of the Union troopers
down. Ashby cleft the other with his saber,
and he, too, fell. Then Ashby galoped in
hot haste over the bridge
Meantime balls rained like hail around the
bold rider One of them pierced his milk
white horse and gave the beautiful animal n
mortal wound. He carried his rider safe
across the bridge, however, torrent of
blood flowing from his side as he ran. Ash
bys famous ride on the white horse wos
continued two miles.
jackson, with Ewcll's corps, was at Swift
Run gap, On the Federal side plans wera
made to hem him in on three sides and crush
him. '''
Banks had pursued jackson as far soutb as
HarrlsonbrTg. He had about {. 900 men after,
Clarksville weekly chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 1873-1890, 1887-05-07

ms exploring party was surrounded by hos
tile Indians and cut to pieces, only Gen. Ian
DER himself escaping. He made five expedi-
lions altogether across the continent, all of
them attended with danger and full of the
element OF the romantic. He was perbaps
Che only American who ever brought back an
unexpended fund from congressional an
preparation. Wherever dash and hrn
very, as well as correct Judgment, were
required, Lander was to be de-
pended on In 1860 he married
the gifted actress, Jean Davenport. In 1861
he offered his services to Gen. Scott, for the
war, IN any capacity, at any time and for
any duty His offer was accepted, and from
that tlme on till his career closed, all too
carly, lie was to be found where fighting was.
l1e was wounded in the leg at Edwards
ferry, but before the wound healed he was
OH at homney, Va, commanding the forces
there Once he marched 1000 men forty
three miles through deep snow, and without
rest andswith almost no food, charged them
upon Confederate camp at BlComery Gan
routing it completely So impetuous was he
that with single aid he galloped ahead of
his men and demanded and received the Con
federate commanders sword.
80 little is known, however, of this brilliant
and romantic figure that his name is seldom
mentioned in the war "reminiscences which are
now at flood tide in the country 1t is because
Gen. Lander died SO early in the war Soon
after the beginning of 1869 his health
failed and he was at length stricken with
typhoid fever He applied for leave of nh
sence from military duty, but before the per.
init came, while he was yet waiting, word
came that Jacksons men were in the neigb-
borhood. Hc rose from his bed, called his
AIDS about him and, with the old time fire in
ms eye, purposed to make midnight attack.
AT that moment his hour struck. He was
seized with sudden congestion of the brain
and died in n few minutes.
He was man of fine physique and extra-
ordinary personal magnetism. If he had
lived ne would have been among the larger
figures of the war.
Lander dying, Gen. James B. Shields was
placed Ill command of his division.
Zen. James b. Shields was one of the old

Banks was
The swiftness Of Jacksons movement was
something marvellous 1t was important for
him TO attack Miiroy and defeat him before
he could join Banks at HaIrisonburg. He &C
complished it.
He made forced marches and fell upon Mil
roy at Bull Pasture, near tho village OF Nc
DoRell. He had meantime beer Joined bv
sil regiments under command OF the Con.
federate general Edward johnson. Tho fight
at Bull Pasture occurred ON warm, bright
morning, May & II may be considered the
second battle Of the Shenandoah campaipn.
Ten. Edward johnson knew the mountain
country well, and he and his regiments took
the lead, with Ashby's scouts in advance.
May the Federal pickets were driven In.
At sunrise May tho Confederate troops
marched toward the village Of Mcdowell.
They took position on Sutlington's hill. Nil
roy sent out force to dislodge them. and the
battle OF Bun Pasture, Mcdowell or Sutling-
tons hill began.
There was sharp engagement Milroy
was defeated and fell back just as Schencls
came up with re-enforcements. But 1t was
too late to save the day, and the Federal
forces retreated toward Franklin to wait for
Fremont They left behind them supply Of
military stores, which jackson captured.
Immediately after this fight Banks re-
treated to Strasburg, fifty miles north. There
he fortified himself, so as to protect the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. Hating
not to rest, jackson pushed on after the
Federal troops. Having driven back Milroy
and Schenck, the next move on tho chess
board was for him to crush Banks, weakened
as he was by the withdrawal Of Shields
division. jackson therefore turned his at
tention to Banks.
The three Federal armies in northern Vir-
ginia that had been sent against jackson
were seventy miles apart, east, west and
north, in sort of triangle. When, there
fore, Stonewall jackson marched against
Banks neither Fremont nor Mcdowell was
near enough to aid him.
Gen. Robert H, Milroy was born In indiana
in 1914. He was educated as n LAWYER hit

May 20, before leaving the Potomac, his
rear guard made pretended attack ON Har-
pers Ferry and Charlestown, while his sup-
ply and AMMUNITION trains were being sent
south in the advance. Jackson's favorite SOL
diers were these of his old command, called
the stonewall brigade. They led tho attack
on Charlestown.
Many OF Jackson's soldiers were from the
vicinity OF Charlestown and had not seen
their families for year. But not a moment
were they allowed to delay. After making

with might and main.
Both Fremont and Shields--one ON one side
